二人在回家路上，連簡單交談都無法維繫，將秋語蘭送至家門，何雲軒訝異於熟悉的身影出現在她家客廳。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knK0xqhgp
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvzL9GX3WO
「伯母。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyzE4qILhX
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8kChZfTY0
「娘，你為何在這裡？」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3AazTBOqB
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhtGLaJhvs
「二位回來了，相處怎麼樣？」呂青芳將兒子拉到一旁，見詢問無果，將矛頭指向約會的另一位：「阿語，今天可有趣？」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuahK1f92
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvv7Y4VHni
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLZ9OlmJuE
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvh1bg61x3
「娘你別逼她。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBFPpmjhc
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUqBvGn9va
「好好好，我告知你們好消息，下星期二是良辰吉日，你倆在那日成親，我與阿語家人談成了。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7amurOAHz
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k5KlTdiy0
二人皆將震驚溢於言表，但二人後續得情緒截然不同，何雲軒的情緒較為羞澀與不解，秋語蘭則是嫌棄與憤怒。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvubjQ9bA9U
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6K6rT6x0s
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtES0fBrr5c
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hdUvvpow1
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpZbFfHjFV
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtzUpm2phB
何雲軒看向身旁的人，她眼神銳利，抿著嘴雙手握拳，顯然對於突如其來的消息無法認可，何雲軒想再說，卻被呂青芳帶走：「我們先離去，下回見。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj74smeCXgj
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCiKrhTHF
秋語蘭對著擦身而過的母子頷首示意，面目可憎地走向方才未開口的招弟：「為何隨意決定我的婚事。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf5BQT6fSO
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDmP2Hg01y
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBduEIi5Mb7
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h49tjOqMB
「但我不愛他。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoMjT6HPEq
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BzDMHhKCs
「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90KBUrINX0
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWUwXwaaS8
不等秋語蘭反駁，招弟走進房間拿出斑斕的衣物，秋語蘭一眼就明瞭是什麼，秋語蘭語氣仍壓抑著情緒：「還給我。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK63ineec6
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sLMR3iDoa
「這就是阻礙你無法接受這樁婚事的最大主因，我幫你斷了念想。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsTABJ9wMR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiA22AeDsQ
招弟取出剪刀不等秋語蘭反應，便將衣裳剪破不只一處，後者心急如焚每一刀都如同劃在自身，情緒已無從壓抑：「不要！」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GcZGbQTeq
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtdgk4O6Rh
劇烈的吵鬧聲驚醒家人，大家都來到客廳，秋國盛見此景象率先開口：「阿語，跟娘說話是這樣的嗎？」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntR4BPSXOv
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2EvRhRZRl
秋語蘭未回嘴，盯著招弟手中的衣裳，秋國盛敏銳地發現，伸手想接過它：「別這樣。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTzr2mPnbz
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73AUP5pwbw
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOvLx5Hrx6
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7agxcXsPz
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcBTKE5LbA
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFRtfs8gd7
「方才與青芳講定的。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGJjuYNo4B

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6k6eDNy7C
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTx7ibDufO
「你不也覺得雲軒是好的選擇嗎？他爹身為村長，都同意這婚事，繁文縟節也就不用在意。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbRaNGDYxW
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbUzsQeP17
「也該他倆相處的空間。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmH8cXxNP8
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEsYGltyvU
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpLRx2svX7
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgUEv9Vqwd
秋國盛啞口無言，撇了眼秋語蘭，晶瑩剔透的眼珠被淚水沖刷，秋國盛本想開口，又看向招弟便作罷。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBxEapbqkj
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRA4wgKPfe

天空烏雲壟罩，將烈陽隱匿，空氣冷冽，村里人聲鼎沸，村長長子娶妻，眾人皆聚集在何雲軒家，連日本軍官都來此湊熱鬧。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkAhazeGDK
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQQ5MWUri
「發生什麼？」日本軍官詢問著身旁的翻譯， 翻譯立即向他解釋來由，日本軍官覺得有趣，便帶領手下前往。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2qmP4NNa
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Gv4twKM5
秋語蘭一襲鮮紅色嫁衣坐在自家客廳雙眉緊蹙並且閉著眼，任由旁人在她臉上塗抹，家裡父母親忙進忙出，此時，爆竹聲由彼處飄來。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bRpRCYcp6
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnW9pa6zIs
「快！他們已經快到了。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4TcxpazDc
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I3mzm0yQX
招弟的聲音在秋語蘭旁邊響起，她能感受到在臉上塗抹的速率與力度有所改變。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrJTXh6K4
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTGVZy92Ed
何雲軒一行人浩浩蕩蕩地來到秋語蘭家，何雲軒駕白馬、持繡球，穿著一襲紅裝，下馬，直至家門口，遞出紅包。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAq6s8DTtR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2mm9j3jE
經過一番繁文縟節後，喜悅之情溢於言表的新郎，踏進客廳，往已蓋上紅頭紗的新娘走去，只是伸出手，卻未取得回應。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT13b8BVNSi
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnCp0CPru
眾人沈默一會，連鳥兒都慌張地叫出聲，振翅而飛，新娘卻未有動作，似乎世間時間霎時間暫停，讓招弟急得上前，抬起她的手輕柔地放至何雲軒手上。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIbQ3166x
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzYP6hDsxh
眾人的時間得以重新流逝，掌聲如雷，何雲軒牽著秋語蘭的手，行至花轎前。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7rsokjghr
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hg1uDmq1H
花轎前頭垂至地面，使秋語蘭輕易跨出步伐，在轎子裡坐穩後她示意何雲軒，後者領意，將布簾放下並跨上馬匹，眾人司其職地啟程不同於來時的路線返回。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLqHRyj1Y0
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10zxB6HcnN
秋語蘭被帶離自家，爆竹聲不絕於耳，震耳欲聾，世間已無其餘聲響，如此，內心的聲音格外宏亮。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3tKeIavYx
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6rbUE2RDd
成親之於秋語蘭未有任何實感，她從花轎上，拉開布簾，端詳著外面，有人點著炮竹，有人抬著花轎、有人興奮地喊著，唯有她還未入戲。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5LJwYUjkF
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBcw5NKfbp
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H8zVwTEU1
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3e9SfJ0ZR
成親時的樣子，兩人身著嫁衣的般配，喜宴旁應搭個戲台讓穿著婚服的谷翊上台演出，諸如此類，如今淪為笑話。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqccOxh7oe
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbbHuLHc6
「他甚至不喜愛看戲。」爆竹聲毫不留情地吞噬秋語蘭的話，未留下任何痕跡，秋語蘭毫不在意地笑著。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJwkFctZQq
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2HPeysRdQ
不久，花轎不再向前，秋語蘭感受到花轎傾斜，順勢邁開雙腿，撩開遮幕。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BcwvP6eSu
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKYolwmmw3
「下雪了。」稚嫩地聲音在人群中響起，引得眾人紛紛仰頭，二位新人也無一倖免。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDWyCr2F4a
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv89I6ZD6sc
雪花緩降，落在血紅色嫁衣上，格外刺眼，也襯托著二人的婚禮。何雲軒望向身旁的秋語蘭，揣測著她心中的念想。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKTMe2iqKU
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67mZl8bihz
家門面前擺放無數的禮品，秋語蘭霎時間獲取實感，眼前的住所既熟悉又陌生，已然注定為往後餘生的住所，淚水奪眶而出，身子也止不住地抽動。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGjGqNv2Ry
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajquUYPTJB
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbjmv6p8k6
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7HP3TAr9
招弟喝止，她仍啜泣著，聽聞便想強忍淚水仰起頭，無數情緒推波助瀾下，似氾濫成災的河流無從阻止。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIJV76fULS
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavjpyKJwac
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMy6cegTHV
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03xBtNoK6h
眾人見新娘哭停下動作，招弟出聲催動眾人的腳步，引導二位新人向前走。232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTvnySnJH
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjfEpN5iUR
走進家門，何雲軒爹娘端坐在右側，家中四處能見紅色布置，擺放在正中的神桌，何家列祖列宗見證著此次婚姻，秋語蘭對祂們只覺陌生且不解，二人一同轉身，雙膝著地，聞禮生高聲叫喊：「一拜天地。」
